I'm currently following 753 people on that account.
I've used a bunch of methods like organizing forum contests, exchanging retweets, promoting my account on Yahoo! Answers and forums.
One thing I never did is following thousands of people hoping they'll follow back.
I get 30% of my sales from social media traffic, so I think its definitely worth it. I also get a lot of referrals that convert pretty well from my social media advertising.
Choose your niche.
Find all unanswered questions within that niche.
Answer them, then vote for them. Thats easy Best Answers, and Best Answers = Top Contributor.
There is actually an easy way to get around being reported
Appeal the decision. If you win not only will it increase your level of trustworthiness, but it will also lower that of the people that reported you. Once you do that, even if they report you, Yahoo! Answers won't give it much importance...
It did happen a lot, I would often see like half a dozen of my answers reposted in a day, then I got smarter. Most of them reported one of my answers, then got on my account to find my other answers and report them, so I made my profile private and it didn't happen as much anymore. And to avoid...
I actually have 2 personal Facebook accounts that I barely ever use. One is for my family and friends, and one is only for online friends, I don't really like mixing the 2.
24000 on my main account, 3400 on my spare account (thats the one I use to promote my Yahoo Answers services). All are real followers acquired naturally.
Its much easier to build on audience on Twitter. On Facebook, people tend to be overly careful when its about adding new people or Liking new pages. On Twitter, the users tend to follow most accounts that interests them.
back then I didn't have a Paypal. Not by choice though, Paypal doesn't allow accounts from my country to receive money. So Western Union was my only option for my first payment. Then I used my aunt's account, and finally got my own using the back door :P
Reading a the replise I guess I should say that I work part-time since I only work about 15hrs a week. Its still enough since I usually make at least twice what the local average salary is ($300).
Paypal is definitely one of the most used payment options. I tend to avoid websites that don't offer Paypal as a payment option, even if I planned to pay with another method. Unless I'm mistaken, most of these websites do not offer Paypal either because the latter detect some fraud on there, or...
Most of us probably get paid online through methods like paypal, payoneer, etc, which makes it easy to end up buying stuff online. I personally do it a lot, especially buying tablets to sell them locally for twice their price :P
So do you work online full-time or part-time?
I have been doing it full-time for a couple of years now, although I am planning to open a new business locally this year. How about you guys?
They sell material that you can easily get for free with a couple of Google searches. A few years back I was selling a "Build Your Klout Account Faster". While the information I provided was was legit, it was also available for free on the Internet.
It was 5 years ago. And yeah, it may not seem like much now, but back then it was a lot to me. My mom was worried I would get scammed till I went to Western Union and picked up the money :D
It is demanding, although I wouldn't say stressful. As long as you set the deadlines properly from the start you can easily manage it without any stress. What can be stressful is when you have to deal with a client that wants more than what he is willing to pay for and constantly asks for...
I have seen may forum owners that use 2 accounts on their forum. One simply acting as the admin and posting updates or answering suggestions/questions, while the other was more like a member of the community. I don't think there's anything wrong if its done that way.
